ROOM PLACEMENT
Before You Start - Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other accessories
that may need to be installed prior to use.
Left and Right Main Channel Speakers- For the most spacious sound
KGI suggests placing the G-12, G-16 or G-28 front left/right speakers six
to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart with the l istening position about 1 to 1 .5 times the
distance separating the speakers. Excellent sound can st ill be achieved by
placing/wall-mounting these speake rs close to both sides of your TV if that is
more aesthe t ically pleasing.
Center Channel Speakers - Speakers used as center channel speakers are
designed to place dialogue and primary sounds so that they appear to come
from the video screen. These speake rs should therefore be placed/
wall-mounted horizontally, as close to the screen as possib le, preferably at least
1" directly be l ow the screen. The G-42 three-channel soundbar should also be
placed/wall-mounted this way .
Rear Surround Channel Speakers- Speakers used as surround speakers
should be placed approximately 2 feet above the listening position. Typically this
will be about 5-7 feet above the floor. The surrounds should be placed on the
walls directly adjacent to the listening position. Another opt i on would be on the
wall behind the listening position . The final surround speaker placement depends
on your room's characteristics.
SPEAKER/SOUNDBAR PEDESTAL INSTALLATION
If you place your G-12,G-16,G-28 speakers or G-42 soundbar on a stand, table,
etc. (vs. mounting on the wall), you will need to attach the provided tempered
glass pedestals with the included screws .
Before you attach a pedestal, have the speaker wire that will attach to that speaker
available since attaching the pedestal and connecting the speaker wire to a speaker
are done at the same time (see "Co n necting" section for proper wire connection).
The G- 12, G- 16 and G- 28 speakers can be attached vertically or horizontally onto
their pedestals and, therefore, have threaded inserts in two different positions on
the rear of these speakers. The G-42 soundbar can only be attached horizontally
to its pedestal. Attach the pedestal as follows:
1. Insert speaker wires (one set f or G-12, G-16 and G-28 and three sets, left,
right and center channel for G-42 soundbar) inside hole in pedestal back
and pull through pedestal top (See Diagram 2).
2. Position speaker/soundbar on ridge on pedestal top, lining up the holes in
the top with the threaded inserts on the speaker (the G- 12 has just one
insert when in horizontal position and it should lineup wi th left hole on
pedestal top). (See Diagram 2)
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the screws partially into the speaker
inserts, wi thout tightening them . (See Diagram 2)
4. If vertical mounting, attach speaker wires (see Diagram 1 ), adjust wires
to fit in recessed area around terminals and tighten Ph ill ips screws on
pedestal. If horizontal mounting, route speaker wire f rom the rear center
of speak er through channel(s) to the speaker terminals, attach speaker
wires in same manner as vertica l mounting, then tighten Phillips screws on
pedestal. With the G-42 s oundbar , use both channels to route all three sets
of wires to the speaker terminals. (See Diagram 3) (Note: using speaker
wire larger than 18 gauge on the G-42 may not allow wire(s) to com-
pletely fit in channels). If needed, use the included adhesive strip to hold
excess wir e in place. To change the Klipsch logo direction on the speaker
front gently pull out one side of it and rotate 45 ·.
